In LiveCode, we currently call these "proper lists".

LiveCode arrays currently have O(log N) read and insertion complexity in 
the general case (which is better than linear).

If we were to add proper lists, we would probably use an implementation 
with O(1) read and O(N) insertion complexity in the general case.

If you need proper lists, LiveCode Builder already provides them with 
the "List" type.
